We have our review of the Xbox 360 version of The Darkness online tonight. This FPS by Starbreeze is a brilliantly violent and well-told experience that no shooter fan should miss. Just make sure to play it with the lights out.

You're essentially given a set of violent tools and a goal - how you reach it is up to you. You could simply blast your way through (guns have brutal instant-kill execution moves up close), or you could stealth your way though - you can send out your tentacles and control it first-person, creeping up walls and pouncing on the jugulars of unsuspecting foes. Failing that you could simply embrace The Darkness, watch bullets bounce off you, walk up to a horrified guard and impale him, dangle his gurgling body before you and toss him into a wall with a sickening thud.
